Fully-Trained and Certified Fire Technicians
When considering a potential fire protection company, ask if their technicians are certified. A certification from the NICET (National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technology) certification is essential. Many jurisdictions require this certification for any technician working on commercial properties. NICET is also a fundamental certification used nationwide as an indicator of knowledge and experience. Many technicians at reliable fire protection companies are cross-trained in sprinkler and fire alarm systems and carry many other certifications or licenses such as:
- Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) for managing hazardous materials and transporting pressurized cylinders
- State required fire protection licenses (i.e., sprinklers, fire alarm, and special hazards)
- Manufacturer-specific certifications for accessing programming software

From heavy-duty machinery to commercial kitchens, the need for fire protection services varies. Fire protection companies specializing in only one field can be problematic for those who need various fire protection services. Qualified companies have multiple technicians trained in the following:
